I would like to suggest two books for the reading list.
They are both by Malcolm Gladwell, a writer for the
New Yorker.
The first is called The Tipping Point and uses the
infection metaphore to describe cultural changes.
The other is called Blink (The Power of Thinking
Without Thinking) and describes some of the
techniques used to program ourselves to be able to
react correctly and quickly in a variety or situations.
Neither book ever uses the word meme, and Darwin
is only mentioned in passing, but together they lay
out some ideal ways of describing this thing that
we talk about every six months or so.
